From our football correspondent Crisis

Market9 Jul 2029

Thulani Khune is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Nashville SC is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Market9 Jul 2029

Ramiro Paunero asks to leave Nashville SC

“I have given everything here and I need a new challenge.” The request is formal, and the relationship will never be quite the same again.

Player ratings9 Jul 2029

Nobody could get near Ahmed Qasem

Successful dribbles: 27. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad9 Jul 2029

Ricardo Wright says Nashville SC went back on their word

“I was told what my role would be, and I signed on that basis. It has not happened.” A grievance with a date attached is the hardest kind to settle.

Squad9 Jul 2029

Bryan Acosta stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Bryan Acosta and Nashville SC agree another 2 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Squad9 Jul 2029

Home is on Talles Brener's mind

“Some mornings you wake up and you are still a long way from everything you know.” It is not the football and it never was; Nashville SC are dealing with a man who wants a different country.

Squad9 Jul 2029

Jack Maher in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Nashville SC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Match7 Jul 2029

CF Montreal take the points off Nashville SC

Beaten 0‑1, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Market9 Jul 2029

No place for Andy Najar in the plan

“The manager did not use many words, and he did not need to.” Andy Najar has his answer from Nashville SC; what he does with it is the next window’s story.

From our football correspondent Upbeat

Squad27 Mar 2028

Eduardo Zapata keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Nashville SC may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Player ratings27 Mar 2028

Nobody could get near Mateo Silvetti

Successful dribbles: 23. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Jeisson Palacios in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Nashville SC this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

Player ratings27 Mar 2028

Hany Mukhtar in the eights

A performance of 8.91 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad27 Mar 2028

No hiding place for Xavier Valdez

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Xavier Valdez, and the manager let it.

Squad27 Mar 2028

Ricardo Wright signs on for more

“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Ricardo Wright and Nashville SC agree another 3 years.

Match25 Mar 2028

Honours even between Nashville SC and CF Montreal

1‑1, and both dressing rooms will call it two points lost. A draw that asked plenty of questions and answered none of them.

Market27 Mar 2028

Jeisson Palacios linked with a move away

The name of Jeisson Palacios keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Nashville SC say nothing, which says plenty.

Market27 Mar 2028

Nashville SC shop where it costs nothing

Ramiro Paunero signs, and the fee column stays empty. Deals like this look small in July and clever by March — or they are never mentioned again.

From our football correspondent Triumph

Player ratings20 Mar 2028

Nothing got past Edvard Tagseth

Headers, blocks, tackles, interceptions — 31 of them, and not one goal behind him. The sort of performance that never makes a highlight reel and wins football matches.

Market20 Mar 2028

Only the photograph left for Nick DePuy

Fee agreed, terms agreed, medical booked. Nick DePuy will be somebody else’s player by the weekend, and around Nashville SC the goodbyes have quietly begun.

Match18 Mar 2028

Nashville SC make it 3 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Nashville SC have 3 straight wins of it.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Nashville SC

Jeisson Palacios was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Player ratings20 Mar 2028

Nobody could get near Mateo Silvetti

Successful dribbles: 22. Every time he got the ball somebody had to make a decision, and every time the decision was wrong.

Player ratings20 Mar 2028

A masterclass from Cristian Espinoza

Marked 8.96 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Match18 Mar 2028

Cristian Espinoza sends Nashville SC past FC Cincinnati

It finished 1‑0, and it was Cristian Espinoza’s afternoon: on the scoresheet when it mattered, and the reason the points belong to Nashville SC.

Market20 Mar 2028

Nashville SC buy the years ahead of Ricardo Wright

He is 17, and the scouting reports agree on the only line that matters: the ceiling. Signings like this are lottery tickets written by professionals.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Cristian Espinoza is off the mark for Nashville SC

The first one is the one every signing is asked about until it arrives. It has arrived, and he can stop being asked.

The Portland Timbers Gazette

20 Mar 2028
From our football correspondent Steady

Market20 Mar 2028

Portland Timbers sell Gage Guerra for $1.4M

Gage Guerra has left for Orlando City in a $1.4M deal. The accountants are pleased; the supporters are less certain.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Tempers go at Portland Timbers

José Luis Caicedo was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match18 Mar 2028

Portland Timbers see off Minnesota United FC

Three points for Portland Timbers, 3‑2 the final word against Minnesota United FC in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Market20 Mar 2028

Ricardo Wright moves on

Nashville SC pay $36.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Player ratings20 Mar 2028

One of those days for David Da Costa

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 9.13, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Player ratings20 Mar 2028

Omir Fernandez in the eights

A performance of 9.02 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Player ratings20 Mar 2028

One of those days for Jimer Fory

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.73, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

One of those days for Kristoffer Velde

There is a version of this player everybody suspected was in there, and on this evidence it is. 8.16, and no argument anywhere in the ground.

Squad20 Mar 2028

Alex Bonetig gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.
